Gonna evolve my Tinkatuff on the way to the Dragon titan.
It's cumulative, no need for constant motion or to feel like they need to take 1k steps all in one go.
Pretty sure you don't, actually.

CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.
Yeah, my Pawmi evolved and I run around forcing recalls and recall to respawn constantly. It may have made it take longer but it still worked
Just run circles around the little jerks

Only one I avoid like the plague.
Logged in to maybe do some raids, turbo-failed a couple 5 star with online people. C'mon game freak, this isn't even fun. People weren't even doing stupid things honestly, maybe their stuff was just under-leveled. So frustrating that online is mostly failure, and solo is a crap shoot too because the NPCs can totally suck.
Failed every raid, quit the game and don't even really feel like trying them any more.

You know what maybe i don't want to do this raid.
Then like go get a snack or whatever
I made the mistake yesterday of thinking the Arcanine I made for multiplayer battles would be useful against a 6 Star Ice Tera Type Mimikyu. "Ho boy, look at the damage that Flare Blitz did.... oh. Oh no."

Still no perfect Speed IV. I have two Dittos for every other IV I could need, but the one stat that is most vital to be perfect... no dice.
*sigh*
They're advertised as giving a variety of tera shards which are pretty hard to come by. No ability patch drops though..bah.

The bonus shards are only on the 5*. As far as I can see, the only reason to do the 3/4 is they’re just incredibly easy to clear them out.
I'm "kupiyupaekio" on Discord.
Today on Raid School: I let 3 Azumarill come to a 6-star Glimmora raid. I hope everyone learned something.

There's a set of trade codes you can use for version exclusives, it's how I got most of the Violet ones. I'd offer to trade you them myself but I still haven't caught my backup Koraidon and I don't have time while visiting my family this weekend.
I hesitate to link because the site's garbage, but here:
https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/pokemon-scarlet-violet-trade-codes-1997432/
Basically, the codes are the Dex numbers of the trade pairs. So if you want to trade Sprigatito and Fuecoco (either direction) you put in 0001-0004. Might have to check a few times before you get someone with the opposite game, but it worked well enough for me.
It's so specific it's bizarre. It's a whole Pokémon designed around one scene in one Godzilla movie to make the silliest thing Godzilla ever did even more ridiculous. Fucking madness.
EDIT: I just realized that the designer probably thought it was silly that Godzilla could fly but still thought the concept of Godzilla rocketing his spines into a monster was cool, so he tried to brainstorm ideas to make it work on the ground and came up with "what if he was sliding on ice?," which is why Baxcalibur is an Ice-Type.
Let's just say that "Cutscenes Off" setting is useless.
Thank you, yes, I did manage to get the dex completed over the holiday break with this method (though, tbh, using the codes wasn't much different than just linking randomly and hoping the other player had the right game version and would get the hint, still took a couple of days to grab the two mons I needed!)
I did notice whilst breeding for pokedex completion that you don't seem to need to actually do anything in order to get eggs to show up at your picnics, like, it's not counting steps or anything, if I just leave the game idling for a bit will it produce eggs endlessly, or does it hit a limit at some point, does anyone know?
The other thing I’m not entirely sure is if they’ll still make eggs slower or not at all without egg power food
But I gotta sat, being able to venture off with level 25 pokemon and 2 badges to catch the Pseudo-legendaru of the game and actually get to raise it on my adventure?
Thats the best thing ever!
None of that catching it 7 badges in, where it evolves after 1 battle and then has to catch up on levels nonsense anymore! I have a baby ice dragon and she's along for the journey!
The payoff for the legendary was phenomenal as well. Noticing Koraidon had appeared in the Pokémon menu after my other Pokémon were locked was really cool.
I'm curious what the DLC will introduce and what will be followed up on. Will we learn the truth behind Terastilization?
I THINK the basket can only hold 10 eggs. And yes, you need Egg Power food to get eggs at a reasonable clip. There’s a restaurant in Alfornada that sells Egg Power lv 2 food for pretty cheap.
Steam: pazython
Though actually I don't have a non-english ditto, come to think of it, I'm so used to having a bunch from SwSh handy! Guess I need to source one of those too.
Alfornada also just happens to be the town with a single long main street that you can easily run back and forth without hitting things constantly. Y'know, like if you had a bunch of eggs you were trying to hatch.
Coincidence? I think not.
I had a 6* ghost tera Kingsgambit which was giving me all kinds of problems because dark/steel counters most of my raid core (note to self, need more options than fairy/ghost mons...) and fighting flat out won't work on him due to ghost type. He was also spamming Thunder Wave constantly which just lead to even games where I didn't get blasted I'd die to timer thanks to missed turns (I came closest on Skeledirge but Torch Song just did way too little damage even with the boosts and Shadow Ball was semi useless once he shielded).
Finally had the idea to use Gholdengo. I don't think the programmers accounted for this one... while he wouldn't cast Thunder Wave against my Iron Hands because electric type, he DID see Gholdengo as a fair target despite "Good as Gold" making him immune to status effects. The AI must have been coded to always cast Thunder Wave if there wasn't a paralyze on the target or the target wasn't electric because that's literally all he did. He kept trying to Thunder Wave me over and over and over, no actual attacks what-so-ever (he did swords dance once :P). Was laughing pretty hard.
Incidentally, FFS please fix raids. I'm so god damn sick of the boss's HP constantly ping-ponging from 0 to half over and over. I'm sick of desync issues where I revive from being dead with only 10 hp (I can only assume I was hit by an attack the game didn't even show) and then get killed before I can even get one attack off. Or issues where he's removed my buffs about a minute before the game bothers to tell me (but he can get attacks in during that time of course! So no chance to brace for having my defense buffs missing). I'm sick of not being able to input commands for 2 minutes because I have to wait for about 20 dialog boxes to get out of the way... *sigh* It's so frustrating. Like legit, this has become the biggest issue of the game for me, even over the shit performance. I would rather take the 2 fps lake over this shit (but seriously why the hell does that lake lag so bad? It's like only when you're in the water too - what, are the splash animations super high fidelity? :P).
Edit:
Late reply but I think so? (at least for Ditto) All I know is, bring a lead as a magikarp with only splash and laugh as your companions destroy the helpless ditto :P
I still use the entrance to Area Zero, as you can just hold left/right and the camera will follow you.
